REST OF SEASON OUTLOOK AND POSITION RANK

Expect Michael Clevinger to be a reliable fantasy starter the rest of the season. His 35.34 projected fantasy points puts him at #9 behind Shane Bieber and ahead of Stephen Strasburg. He has averaged 4.42 fantasy points in his past 45 games, which is less than our projected per game average. He is projected to average 5.61 fantasy points. His rank based on average projected points is the same as his rank based on total fantasy points. He is underrated if you compare his ownership based rank with his projection rank. At 97%, he is the #19 most highly owned starting pitcher. Michael Clevinger is expected to improve on this season-to-date's #21 fantasy position rank.

WEEK 22 AND 23 FANTASY OUTLOOK

Michael Clevinger is projected for 6.1 fantasy points in one game the rest of the week which is good enough to be the #10 ranked starting pitcher and a must start for most owners. This is projected to be a slightly better than average game with more fantasy points than he is projected to average per game the rest of the season. He is ranked above Domingo German but behind Jose Berrios the rest of the week. Week 23 will not be as good based on projected rank (#17). He is projected for 5.52 fantasy points.
